Vienna becomes the best city to live on the planet, again! As per The Global Liveability Index 2023, Vienna's secret to success is its "winning combination" of good culture, stability, and entertainment along with infrastructure, good education, and a great healthcare system.

"It has occupied this position regularly over the past several years, with only the Covid-19 pandemic causing the city to vacate its place at the top spot," the report added.

The second spot is retained by Copenhagen while Australian cities Sydney and Melbourne make space for themselves in the top 5.

"They have seen their scores in the healthcare category improve since last year when they were still affected by Covid waves that stressed their healthcare systems," the research firm revealed. The average index score rose from 73.2 last year to 76.2 this year.
